Short: Update of the best ->LZX repacker, GUI! Uploader: Andrea Vallinotto (a.vallinotto@agora.stm.it) Author: Andrea Vallinotto (a.vallinotto@agora.stm.it) Type: util/arc Requires: OS2.0+, reqtools.library and rexxreqtools.library, LZX 1.20 and various unarchivers Replaces: util/arc/Repack3_4.lha Version: 3.5 This is Repack version 3.5, an update of version 3.4. New in version 3.5: - new 'launcher' script that enables the user to specify exactly which archives must be processed, using Reqtools requesters. - some (little) bugfixes. - can repack LZX archives, too. This is useful for registered users, who can use mode 9. - code cleaned up: small speed up! Repack stands for: Recursive Enhanced Pratical Archive Conversion Kit. It's an Arexx script that converts entire directories of archives of various formats to LZX. It's better than any other similar LZX repacker because: - all the operating parameters can be chosen through Reqtools requesters or on the command line. - it repacks archives RECURSIVELY! This comes very useful if you need to convert those distribution made of many .lha files archived together. - can handle most of the used archivers|packers: Lha, Arc, Zoo, Pak, Zip, Arj, Rar, Xarc, Hpack, Gzip, Tar, Tar-gzipped. - works either on single files or entire directories. - is SAFE! If anything goes wrong while repacking, no harm will be done to the original files. - includes a special option, called 'BBS mode' made especially for BBS like DLG-pro or C-Net; if this mode is enabled, Repack will copy the original comment and datestamp of the old archive to the new .LZX . - there's also a one-shot single-file version useful for C-Net systems. - works even with nasty file and directories names that includes spaces. - can recurse through sub-directories. - has an add-and-omit files option (to get rid of or add #?.displayme kind of files - see doc!). - can take advantage of the registered version of LZX. - has a log file. It's FREEWARE so enjoy!!!
